I have been searching for your report for a while - don't know why I couldn't find it, but it was worth the wait!

Congratulations, Kristi! You rock!

Great report Kristi. Reading this has made me want to attempt another marathon. When I read your report I said to my husband, see this is how I would have liked my marathon to have gone.

You're awesome and will only go on to have even better races.

Congrats

The thought has crossed my mind once or twice...but seeing as my first marathon was yesterday, I'll hold off on that for a little bit!

So Kristi,

You've inspired me. Now I have a login. Next, I need an Avatar. Oh and I should figure out some runs to do. What do I need to do to qualify for an orange shirt?

Kristi,

I saw you a few times on the course (I was the random girl clapping on the sidewalk -- maybe you remember me? :roll: :D ).

You looked awesome out there! I LOVED the skirt and loved the smile you had on all the way through. It was very inspiring to watch you run, as you seemed to really enjoy the experience.

Congratulations!!

Deirdre :D [who really should de-lurk a bit more so that next time I won't be a random cheerer!]
